That was a lovely 11 mile hike. A fair bit of up but the down was actually worse. And though I started off with a woolly hat I really should have taken a sun hat and sunscreen 🥵.

Here’s a slightly wobbly 360 video tour from the summit of Pen Pumlumon Fawr.

There goes the Welsh Air Ambulance. I guess some muppet's tried to climb the mountain in flip flops with no water again 🙄

Not the top of the world, or Wales even, but I am at the top of Ceredigion…Pen Pumlumon Fawr at 752 metres. I’ve been wanting to come up here for ages and the weather is almost perfect. Time for lunch.

A landscape photo taken from a high point in the Cambrian Mountains looking towards the distant coastline of Cardigan Bay. In the near distance is a large reservoir surrounded by high moorland and forestry plantations. The sky is a hazy blue with fluffy and wispy white cloud. It’s a sunny spring day.

Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this pic of this beautiful tidal marsh that I saw on a walk near the ocean yesterday. This marsh is connected to the ocean (but not seen in this pic). I could hear the pounding of the surf from the ocean the entire walk! #ocean #hiking #CapeCod

Photo of marsh as viewed from edge. The water leads away from the camera toward the horizon where the ocean is (but the ocean is not seen). Tan and brown grasses line the edges of the water.

Some images from yesterdays hike in the badlands of Tabernas, Almeria. A cold day but this made the skies crystal clear of either the heat haze or the Saharan dust that normally plague this area

A natural frame, well sort of natural. In fact this is a motorway bridge! But gives a nice framework for the interesting scenery behind
The rough and arid country leading to the peak of Cerro Alfaro
A huge loose wall of crumbling stone rears above two hikers on the path below and to the right
Typical scenery in the Tabernas desert. Arid badlands contrasting with vegetation in the "Ramblas". These palm trees were the scene for the oasis scene in Lawrence of Arabia

A few snaps of the moors from my walk yesterday -

a) A bronze age mound/cairn at the high point of the moorland

b) A view across the moorland as it descends, with a few solitary spruces

c) One of countless small ponds and saturated peat bogs scattered around

d) an okay (relative to my usual standard) capture of a red grouse fleeing my disturbance. There are black and red grouse here. I only heard the cooing, bubbling of the black grouse but saw numerous red

3 isolated spruces, in a natural line from the foreground into the distance, springing from uninterrupted heather moorland. The hazy low sun is just above and partially silhouettes them, also casting a blue light on the distant rolling high hills
A low, wide mound, a heather covered bronze age stone mound, at the high point of the moors (511m elevation). There are numerous small cairns, mostly forgotten and lost deep jn heather, around this area and this central mound was assumed to be some sort of ritual centre point. A track, barely visible, winds towards the mound. Hazy partially clouded skies above

The morning sunshine didn’t last but the impressive scenery of the Doethie valley made up for it. A lovely, peaceful walk through high moorland and river valleys. I’d like to have come here before the winter storms tore through. So many trees down (which made walking challenging in places) and many wooded valleys will have been greatly altered. Still, stunningly beautiful. I started and finished near the remote Soar Y Mynydd chapel, which sadly saw some storm damage too.

#walking #Cymru
Landscape photo of a view down a small upland river valley. The steep slopes are golden brown with dead foliage of grasses and bracken. A few scattered conifer trees with denser forest on the hills in the distance. The sky is pale blue with wispy clouds but thicker clouds brew on the horizon. The winter sun glows bright in the top right corner of the frame.
A photo of an expensive view over a river valley surrounded by high moorland. The slopes are shades of green and brown. The silver ribbon of river snakes along below. The sky is thick with grey cloud, just a patches of brightness in places.
Photo of another river valley, narrower than the last. A small waterfall shows white in the centre of the frame. A narrow path follows the steep valley-side on the right, a thin green line cutting through the red-brown bracken. The sky is grey with cloud, hanging heavy over the hills.
A photo of a remote chapel beside a moorland river, a small stone bridge over. The whitewashed walls of the chapel are flaking due to weather damage. Several large trees surrounding it have been felled by recent storms, their huge root plates lifted up. Patches of blue sky and sunshine break through the clouds.

A walk along Ceredigion coast path blew some cobwebs away today. A lovely remote and rugged section from Cwmtydu to Llangrannog then back inland along quiet lanes and wooded paths, 10 miles in all. Mostly cloudy but the snow topped peaks of Eryri and the Llŷn peninsula were gleaming in sunshine.

#FootpathFriday #walking #Cymru
Photo of a view from a cliff top path, down to a rocky cove with a shingle beach, and along the coast of Cardigan Bay with the Llŷn peninsula a line on the horizon. The sea and sky are similar shades of dark grey-blue but there’s a strip of pale blue in between, clearer sky above the peninsula. Mountain tops gleam white with snow.
Photo of a view along the coast path in the opposite direction. A green ribbon of path snakes along the steep coastal slope, brown with bracken. A thin, finger-like headland juts out into the flat, grey-blue sea. There is an interesting pattern of clouds, almost mackerel-like, with glimpses of blue peeking through.
Photo of a view back along the coast path. The coast here is rugged. Gently sloped grass fields give way to sheer, dark cliffs, with inaccessible coves and jagged rocks at the base. Again, a thin strip of blue sky over the mountains on the horizon, sandwiched between grey-blue sea and sky.
A photo of a fork in a path through woodland. A mossy bank marks the divide. The surface of the paths are littered in red-brown leaves. The only trees holding their glossy green leaves are the hollies.

#introduction I've actually had this account for a few years, but I didn't have an introductory post, so here it is.

I live in Cymru (Wales) and speak Cymraeg (Welsh) as a second language having learned as an adult.

I'm now retired so have more time to enjoy my interests which are photography, improving my Welsh and I've started writing fiction again. I also enjoy knitting, crochet, walking with my husband.

A reminder to prepare and be carefulk out there - as well as a great cheer for the mountain rescue team

A mountain rescue team risked their lives to save a couple trapped under a metre of snow in the Highlands, as freezing temperatures caused widespread disruption

I made it to the shop and back. Instead of sitting on an icy bench by the river, I decided to see how far along I could walk before it was time for the bus home.

The first photo is a few minutes walk from the shop, the other two pictures are further along heading into Wormit.

The ground was frosty with just a few patches of ice which I managed to dodge. It was nice to see blue sky, however briefly. It is a cold, cold day though and the cloud starting to gather is definitely pushing me towards hibernation - good thing I am home now.

I managed to walk about 0.8 miles, so thats a decent amount of steps in. My hip is not enjoying it, it feels like my leg is trying to turn inwards and with that comes some serious sharp pain, so I will mostly be resting now. I did enjoy the walk though, despite the pain. I don't mind walking here, people say hello and don't look at me as if I'm a weirdo, if I walk round my own village, people glare or try to gossip - I hate that.
Now I think its time to get some soup!

Photo. Looking from High Road, Newport on Tay over the River Tay to Dundee. The foreground is overgrown trees and random plants with a square building at the right, in front of that is a road with a couple of cars parked on it. Beyond that is the pier at Newport then the mostly calm Tay. Over the river Dundee can be seen, it is lit up by the sun. The sky is partially blue but with grey wispy clouds.
Another photograph looking over towards Dundee, taken about 15 minutes after the first photo. This time the foreground is framed by ivy at the bottom and mostly bare trees at both sides, the river is calm, the sun is no longer lighting up Dundee and it looks bleak, more clouds are gathering.
A change of view in this photo, again about 10 minutes after the previous photo. Framed by a close up of some ivy and trees at either side, the Tay Rail Bridge can be seen in the distance, the sky is mostly covered in light grey cloud. The photo feels cold.

The low winter sun cast some big shadows (inland, the morning’s frost hadn’t melted at all in many places). A shortish walk from Mwnt following the rugged coastline, with its old slate quarries and views of Cardigan Island, then back inland along quiet roads and field paths.

#walking
Photo of a view along a rugged cliff coastline. The sun highlights tussocks of grass on the cliff top, and Cardigan Island just offshore is bathed in the golden light. The dark grey rock of the cliffs is darker still in the shadows, though the rock nearest the camera is speckled white. The sea is agitated and milky grey after recent storms, waves crashing white against the foot of the cliffs. In contrast, the sky is a clear blue with a bank of white cloud over the sea on the horizon.
Photo taken from a cliff top overlooking a deep, craggy cove that is dark in shadow. My shadow, as I stand on the cliff top path, appears on the sheer cliff face on the far side of the cove. Waves break against the jagged rocks that reach out from the base of the cliff into a milky grey-blue sea. A bank of white cloud on the horizon in an otherwise blue sky.
Landscape photo of a steep valley through which a stream tumbles down to the sea off to the left. A coastal footpath zigzags down to a wooden footbridge in the bottom left of the frame then back up the other side. The sun just peeks over the brow of the hill, lighting up the rugged top of the valley side on the left and throwing all else into muted shadow colours. The sky is clear blue, the bank of clouds approaching from behind the camera.
A landscape photo of a view across a bright green cliff top field and over a sandy beach towards a hilly headland that looks golden-brown in the afternoon sun. Just to the right of and hunkered below the summit of the headland you might make out a small white church (from an earlier post). In the foreground, the sun casts long shadows over the grass, including mine - long shadow legs almost indistinguishable from fence posts! The sky is still blue to the right (west) but those clouds have caught up with me and in a moment will sweep across.

Snowy walk! #Northumberland #Walking
Colour photograph of a stretch of snowy ground, with a line of white sheep across the middle of the frame. Shadowy hills rise in the background, and the sky is a pale blue with clouds.
Colour photograph of a wooden five bar gate and a stile set in a post and wire fence. It runs through a snowy landscape, rising towards distant hills. The sky is a clear blue.
Colour photograph of a snowy slope running down from the left to the right of the frame. A faint track is just visible running away from the viewer. There are hills in the distance, in shadow. The sky is a deep clear blue at the top of the frame, but there is a line of grey cloud on the horizon.
Colour photograph of a stretch of moorland with a thin covering of snow. There is a patch of rushes in the foreground. The sky is a deep blue.

Colour photograph of a roughly surfaced road running away from the viewer along the bottom of a gently sloping valley. The sky is grey, but low sunlight is catching the grassy valley sides.
Colour photograph of a grassy meadow peppered with white and yellow spring flowers. There is a small copse on the horizon. The sky is a clear blue.
Colour photograph of a late summer meadow, with long pale golden grass and the seed heads of flowers. Hills are visible beyond. The sky id a deep blue with fluffy white clouds.
Colour photograph of a grassy slope covered in orange red bracken, with more bracken on the hills beyond. The sky is pale blue with puffy white clouds. The sun is low, and there are strong shadows.

We had no internet yesterday, so I couldn’t post these pictures from my Boxing Day walk. It was pleasingly quiet, and although it was a bit overcast, the clouds were interesting.
#Northumberland #Walking
Colour photograph featuring a hillside sweeping down from the left. There is a road running along the right hand side of the frame with a post and wire fence and a five bar wooden gate. There are fields beyond the road and a pale blue sky full of mackerel cloud.
Colour photograph taken from a high advantage point looking down a long valley with gently sloping sides a river runs along the valley bottom. The sky is blue with white wispy clouds.
Colour photograph of a post and wire fence with a five bar wooden gate cutting across a moorland landscape of long tufty grass and rushes. There are hills beyond the gate and a mackerel sky.
Colour photograph of a grassy field with clumps of rushes in the foreground and the trunk of an old tree. There are dry stone walls one has a gateway in it next to the gate stands a white woody sheep with a black face and small horns looking at the camera.

I headed for the hills today, hoping that they’d be quieter than the coast and that I’d maybe get above the fog. It paid off and the Teifi pools walk was super peaceful. For the most part the blue skies were tantalisingly out of reach but it was quite otherworldly. There were fog bows everywhere I looked and when I did break through to clear sky, I was treated to my first Brocken spectre. The fog thickened further on my return so I was glad I knew the way to negotiate the bogs!

#Walking
Landscape photo of a view across an upland valley. The bare brown hills on the far side are veiled in thin fog. Just above the surface the fog dissipates revealing clear blue sky. A white rainbow or fog bow arches across the frame, formed by sunlight behind the camera shines through fine fog droplets.
Landscape photo of a view across another fog-filled upland valley. Here the high ridge on the far side is just above the fog layer, under bright blue sky. To the left is part of a fog bow. To the right is my shadow on the fog, with a bright area surrounding it - a faint Brocken spectre.
Landscape photo across boggy upland. The layer of fog has thinned and the higher points of rough grassland are bathed in golden sunlight under a bright blue sky.
Photo of an upland river - the Teifi - in a small v-shaped valley. A small bare tree stands on the right bank, leaning to the right. Boulder-strewn rough grassland and bracken covers the gently sloping ground. Fog is thickening, starting to obscure the blue sky. A fog bow arches over the tree.

On A Winters Walk

When the cold bites hard, and you've a long way to go, the footpath is never ending, and your spirits are low.
Don't change your way or take a different road.

Probably the most popular waterfall on this particular walk as you can go in behind it (I won’t comment on the suitability of some people’s clothes and footwear 🙄).

#walking
Photo of a waterfall that is as broad as it is tall. It cascades like a curtain over a dark rock face. A narrow ledge you can walk along runs behind. Mossy branches hang over the top. Moss and ferns sprout from the sheer rock walls either side.
A view along the path behind the waterfall, recessed into the rock face that is green with moss and algae. The water a white curtain on the right.
A view through the waterfall, trees on the valley side just visible through the streams of water and spray.
Photo of a view downstream from the waterfall as the river passes through a gorge. Trees cling to the steep rock faces that are green with moss. There is a v-shaped wedge of grey sky where the river bends out of view.

Astonishingly, I managed to avoid the rain today, and even saw a bit of winter sun. First long walk in my new boots accomplished without injury.
#Northumberland #Walking
Colour photograph of a hilly landscape. The dominant colour is the bronze of winter bracken. The low sunlight is shining from the right of the picture, throwing the left of the hills into deep shadow. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds.
Colour photograph of a rough circle of stones in the middle of which is a white painted trig point. There is rough grass in the foreground and the sky is blue with some low whitish grey cloud.
Colour photograph of a stretch of rough moorland grass with hills and valleys in the background. The low light is strong causing long deep shadows. The sky is blue with a ridge of white cloud running across close to the horizon.
Colour photograph of a clear grassy track running through tufty moorland grass away from the viewer. The grass is just catching the low sunlight which is turning it a pale gold. The sky is covered in threatening dark grey cloud.

The ‘culture war’ is no such thing, it is just another wedge being inserted and hammered home by those who dislike people uniting for their families, communities and themselves.

For gods sake, even insurance companies have noticed the improvements in accident claims and the stats that demonstrate fewer injuries before we look at the benefits of more social roads talk to this.

Sharing good news as a tonic: The State of Washington rejected an initiative that would have repealed the carbon auction cap-and-trade system. It has produced revenues for greatly increased investments in transit, active transportation, home energy improvements, and other climate-friendly work (including programs I oversee so yes I'm relieved).

Not a bad lunch stop.

Have had a really peaceful walk this morning, from Llyn Brianne reservoir over the border in Carmarthenshire. Currently sitting on a ledge outside Twm Sion Cati's cave in Gwenffrwd-Dinas Nature Reserve. Apparently Twm Sion Catti was a trickster, highwayman and folk hero who hid in the cave. I expect he would have appreciated a cheese and leek pasty too.

It was quite a climb up. I may be bum shuffling down in places (not a great head for heights).

#walking #cymru
Landscape photo of a view through the tops of trees - mostly beech, oak and birch - from a high point on the side of a hill (a small cave out of shot behind the camera). The view is along a steep sided valley, a river rushing along the bottom and a glimpse of white waterfalls. The rock-strewn slope to the right is catching the sun whereas the woods on the left are in shadow. The overall tones are red-brown of autumn leaves and bracken. The sky is blue (hurrah!) with a light veil of white cloud.

It was a proper grey day today…not damp, and neither cold nor warm, just grey nothingness. But it lent a sepia tone to the autumn colours.

I headed up to the Teifi Pools on the western edge of the Cambrian Mountains. The pools and reservoirs are the source of several rivers, including the Teifi, which I followed back down. I’ve missed wide open spaces recently and this was just what I needed.

I finished with a stroll around the ruined abbey of Strata Florida.

#walking #Cymru #GetOutside
A photo of a mountain stream - Nant Egnant - rushing over grey boulders. The steep valley sides are carpeted in red-brown bracken and dark green heather nearer the tops. In the centre of the frame, crossing the river, is a wooden foot bridge. A veteran oak tree stands behind on the right, its leaves turning a red-golden brown. The sky behind is a flat, featureless grey.
Landscape photo of a view across boggy ground, an expanse of golden brown marsh grasses. In the centre is the limb of a large lake - Llyn Teifi, the source of the Afon Teifi, the surface of the water is a matt silver and pewter. A ridge of mountains rises up behind, under grey skies.
A landscape photo of a view down the upper Teifi valley. The mountain stream divides the landscape down the middle, red-brown bracken on the steeper slopes to the right, and golden brown grass and gorse on the left in the flatter, boggier valley bottom. The stream curves out of view to the right. Green hillsides rise up beyond. In the middle distance on the left, a few sheep eye me warily from a slight rise. Again, the sky is a flat greyness.
Photo of a rounded arched entrance doorway into the ruined Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida, the crumbled stone walls ending just above the arch. Through the doorway is a glimpse of the ruined interior walls, surrounded by short grass, and of the hillside beyond. The leaves on trees growing in and around the abbey are turning green to gold
